LIONSOUL
WELCOME STORM

Fans of European classical power metal will find nine great metal songs on LIONSOUL's second album "Welcome Storm", all of which glowing with impressive power chords and impressive vocals. Now and again certain American influences creep through, such as the lightly progged "Next Genesis". The powerful "The Thunder Master" drives the listener along with it and its encompassing chorus sticks out like a fist in the air. The almost six minute long "Iron Whispers", and "Bright As Light" prove that the band, despite their pure power metal roots are capable of writing varied, exciting songs which are given the quintet's own special touch. Ivan Castelli's vocals are harmonic yet powerful, rounding off each track perfectly. "Welcome Storm" is an exciting, impressive power metal statement made by this young band from Bergamo, and something which is a welcome addition to the power metal scene.
